The recent update to Microsoft Viva Engage, which restricts selfie video recording to mobile apps only, is certainly a significant shift for both admins and users. On one hand, users may feel a bit of a pinch as the familiar “Record a video” button will be disappearing from the web interface, which may have been their go-to for quick video messages or updates.

For admins, the transition requires minimal effort since no action is needed on their part for the rollout. However, it would be wise to proactively communicate this change to users, ensuring everyone is on the same page and prepared for the update.
